JAKARTA - Daniel Ricciardo will not race in Formula 1 2023 with McLaren Mercedes. His contract was not extended and until now he has not got a new team.
So far, only one team has one more seat left, namely Williams Racing. However, it is unlikely that the slot was given to Ricciardo.
However, Ricciardo still has a lot of interest, although not as the main driver. Red Bull Racing has reportedly prepared a new role for the Australian racer.
Red Bull will offer Ricciardo as Red Bull's third driver, said a leak from Red Bull team adviser Helmut Marko.
"Ricciardo will be our third driver," Marko told Sky Germany, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, November 19.
Previously, another speculation circulated that the former Red Bull driver would play the role of a reserve rider at Mercedes or a team he had played for.
Following the news from Marko, Ricciardo, who has seven of his eight wins with Red Bull, will rejoin his former team-mates Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the team owned by the Austrian energy beverage company.
Meanwhile, Formula 2 driver Liam Lawson will continue his role as a reserve rider for Red Bull and the AlphaTauri youth team next year.
Ricciardo raced for Red Bull from 2014 to 2018 before anchoring to Renault for the 2019 season.
In Sao Paulo last weekend, Ricciardo denied he had signed a contract with Red Bull, having also spoken to Mercedes for next year's bench.
He also aims for full-season "comebacks" in F1 in 2024.
Meanwhile, Verstappen and Perez's contracts at Red Bull will expire at the end of 2028 and 2024.
